MFC MDI Views outside MainFrame
-
Hi Folks, is there a cheap trick to show document views of a MFC MDI Application outside the mainframe of the application? The goal is to run the application in a dual monitor environment (extended desktop setting) so that the mainframe can stay on one screen while a document view can be moved to the other one. Thanks for your help! Regards, Andreas

I'm not sure MFC can do that, but the first place I'd look is playing with the window styles.

MFC seems to be restrictive what window styles are set and also who the parent window is. The best option I found for this works like described here[^]. I believe there is also a code project article explaining this method but I can't locate it right now.
